I'm waiting it out from India. That's harder than you'd imagine. I applied to the Global Gender Studies program and for the longest time there wasn't any update in my status. It just said that my file had been reviewed on 10/1. When I got up today it had changed to 2/17. But the decision section was still blank and I haven't received any messages on email or on the phone. Anybody hear anything so far? Or at least from one of the UB social science departments?
I also wanted to share that my bf goes to UB at the Physics department. Is there an accepted way I can share this information with my prospective department at such a late stage? I haven't applied anywhere else. I intend to fill out a few late MFA apps if UB does not work out, but getting through here is extremely preferable, even to a more prestigious program. If I wanted to highlight the fact of our wanting to be together, should I approach the grad school or the department? Is it a good idea for him to just walk into the office one afternoon and have an informal chat? Or are these things generally frowned upon? Someone tell me!!
University at Buffalo, and more, please help
